Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb (500g) baby carrots
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 dashes ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon chopped thyme or parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
- In an oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it foams and turns golden brown.
- Add garlic and sauté briefly, then stir in the carrots.
- Season with salt, black pepper, honey, and thyme or parsley. Toss to coat well.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15–20 minutes, until carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
Notes
Swap honey with maple syrup for a different flavor profile.
Use rainbow carrots for a colorful presentation.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for spice.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese before serving for extra richness.
Regular carrots can be used if sliced into sticks or coins.
